This is a question mark that haunted me as I observed the outpouring of love, respect and the series of funerals honoring former President Gerald Ford.

Vice President Cheney delivered an emotional farewell, crediting Ford with healing the potential divisiveness in the United States if Nixon had not been pardoned.  

The question that troubles me is who gave Gerald Ford the power to pardon a president who had launched war in Cambodia on his own personal agenda, minus the approval of Congress?  

This Cambodia bombing spree was waged in a similar fashion to Bush's Iraq War debacle.  There is no healing for either Nixon's Cambodia onslaught or Bush's Iraq War horror.
